On the evening of February 2, Yanjing time, the nomination ceremony for the 82nd Academy Awards of the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) was held at the Samuel Godwin theatre in Beverly Hills.

    The 3D blockbuster avatar won nine nominations, ranking first in the number of nominations; There is also a $15 million small budget independent film, the hurt locker, which also won nine nominations, ranking first with Avatar.

    The media at home and abroad mainly focus on avatar, and the bomb disposal force has not attracted much attention.

    However, in addition to paying attention to avatar, inception, which was shortlisted for the Oscar nomination for the best foreign language film from dozens of films, has also attracted extensive coverage in the domestic media.

    Over the years, the best foreign language film at the Academy Awards has often been won by European films, and Asia has won several best foreign language film awards for Japanese films. For example, the 81st Academy Award for best foreign language film last year was won by the Japanese mortician.

    In addition to "Crouching Tiger, hidden dragon" sent by Taiwan island at the beginning of the millennium, Huaxia won the only best foreign language film award on behalf of Huaxia. In recent years, the best foreign language film at each Oscar, let alone the award, even the shortlist has become an extravagant hope.

    Finally, this year, "Inception" made a breakthrough and was shortlisted for the 82nd Academy Award for best foreign language film. Whether it can copy the track of Crouching Tiger, hidden dragon that year and win the best foreign language film award this year has been expected by countless Chinese people.

    There is no reason why the American Academy Awards can become a world-famous film award and the most influential film award in the world.

    Just like inception, after winning the nomination for the best foreign language film, the overseas market still screened immediately ushered in a new wave of film viewing.

    In China, many audiences who haven''t gone to the cinema to see "Inception" also want to see it. Unfortunately, the cinema has already painted, so they can only find the film source on the Internet.

    Piracy... Although few, there are!

    However, several shareholders of Hualong made efforts at the same time to destroy all the pirated websites that provided the source of "Inception" with the help of relevant state departments.

    Even if the server is set up abroad, it is hard to escape the blow.

    Touch their cheese, no matter where you hide, don''t think about it!

    In a very short time, piracy has been cleaned up. If you want to watch "Inception" on the Internet, you can only log in to storm video and watch the genuine version. Hualong film is the major shareholder of storm technology.

    Storm technology has long bought the exclusive network broadcasting right of inception at a high price, but the genuine version has to be charged: either VIP members watch it first, or pay five yuan to watch the whole film.

    Compared with the ticket price of dozens of yuan in the cinema, five yuan is really not expensive; However, considering that the monthly membership fee of VIP members is only about ten yuan, more users tend to recharge members.

    In early February, the number of storm AV members increased sharply.

    This is the charm of Oscar: the shortlist helps to improve the popularity and box office of the film; Winning an Oscar will improve the popularity and box office of the film more!

    The popularity of main creators such as Xiao Xing, Huang Bo and Li Bingyu reached a new high, and each company increased its efforts to promote its own artists.

    Media reports, heated public opinion discussions, reporter interviews, program interviews, etc. It''s called a lively.

    Ning Zhiyuan and his son are not in the mood to participate in this lively, but somewhat confused.

    When Mai Xiaoyu bought Optimus shares, was he worried that Optimus would interfere and deliberately muddy the water?

    It''s a mystery that Mai Xiaoyu wants to make a TV series with his female stars.

    Mai Xiaoyu doesn''t care about Ning Zhiyuan''s father and son''s ideas. Taking advantage of the good opportunity of being shortlisted for the Oscar, Meng Ren''s publicity department once again released a heavy news - Meng Ren film and television wants to adapt the biography of Zhen Huan of wheat, and spend a lot of money to put this best-selling novel on the TV screen!

    The production cost is 90 million!

    Mengren and Li Hui studio jointly invest!

    Director Li Hui!

    No less than 70 episodes!

    ……

    A series of relevant reports have made readers who like the legend of Zhen Huan like da Pu Ben, and also attracted great attention from people in the industry.

    Who plays "Zhen Huan"?

    Who''s playing "mother"?

    Who plays "Princess Hua"?

    Who plays "king of fruit"?

    Who plays "Yongzheng"?

    And "anlingrong", "shenmeizhuang"

    The impressive characters in the novel not only aroused heated discussion among readers, but also attracted the hearts of countless actors and film companies in the entertainment industry.

    Mai Xiaoyu is a wonderful flower. It''s no secret that his cute people like to play alone and eat alone.

    Other people''s films and TV plays often like to find more investors in order to share risks; Cute film and television dramas, if not necessary, never find funds from the outside. Even if the budget is higher, they can invest alone as much as possible.

    Cute people''s film and television dramas have hardly lost. The higher the investment proportion, the better the performance. There are countless new and old artists who are popular in the drama!

    The production cost of the legend of Zhen Huan is as high as 70 million from the beginning. With the miscellaneous expenses such as follow-up publicity and operation and additional expenses, it is very likely to run for 100 million.

    One hundred million... Enough to make a blockbuster!

    Yes, Li Hui''s studio also has investment, but that''s because Li Hui is a director. His studio is under the banner of Mengren, who accounts for 30% of the shares. Moreover, it is said that Li Hui studio only invested 10 million.

    Meng people dare to throw tens of millions in this play, which is enough to prove their appreciation of the play. Moreover, the sales volume of the original novel is also very high and has a large reader base.

    How important it is for readers to remember, just look at the popular box office of twilight 2.

    Good dramas are the most popular actors, not only the heroine, but also the supporting actors. This has long been recognized in the circle, and the probability of popular actors in cute dramas is higher!

    Approaching the new year, from the first-line TV cafes to the third and fourth line actors and even newcomers, they can start private activities. It doesn''t matter. While reading the biography of Zhen Huan, they stare at the preparation information of the crew. After the crew starts preparation, they run to the team to present the group photos.

    hengdian world studios.

    At the end of the day.

    At more than seven o''clock in the evening, Jiang Xin dragged her tired body back to the hotel in the strong smell of new year on the street and called home first.

    "Mom, I can''t spend the new year with you this year."

    "The crew is in a hurry to shoot, and time is not allowed."

    "No, no, you don''t have to come here. On the fifth day of the ninth day, I can go back. You don''t have to toss back and forth..."

    Every winter vacation is the peak season for the crew of Hengdian film and television city. During the Spring Festival holiday, the crew usually takes about 3 days off. There are very few crew members who take 5 days off. Of course, there are also crew members who don''t take a day off.

    To be honest, stars in big brands are also ordinary people. They miss their relatives twice during the Spring Festival. Naturally, they hope to accompany their families as much as possible during the Spring Festival; However, for the crew or producers, one more day off will increase the shooting period and the cost of investment.

    Therefore, the attitude of the film side is often to have less or no holidays. As the No. 1 film and television base in China, every year, Hengdian film and television city has 10 or 20 studios stick to the set and continue filming.

    Jiang Xin''s crew won''t have a holiday this year.

    The big stars in the crew still stick to Hengdian, unless they have arranged a commercial performance notice before, go to a cave to earn a lot of labor fees, and shoot with the crew at other times; She is just a second and third tier actress with little fame. She is still a supporting actor. How can she be qualified to take leave to go home for the new year?

    Do you want to take the play in the future?

    Hang up, the assistant brings dinner and orders takeout from outside.

    Jiang Xin had no appetite. After eating two mouthfuls casually, he put down his chopsticks and sat in front of the window looking out in a daze.

    The agent''s call brought her back.

    "Xinxin, have you finished filming?"

    "Finished."

    "Are you in the hotel?"

    "Well, what''s up?"

    "It''s all right. Let''s see you. I''ve just arrived in Dongyang. Now go to Hengdian and wait for me in the hotel. By the way, I''ll bring you what you want to eat..."

    Jiang Xin is a little dizzy.

    Her agent is a veteran agent, bringing a lot of artists. There are several artists who are more popular than her, one or two of whom are younger than her and have great potential.

    The income of brokers mainly depends on the remuneration of their artists. Therefore, the higher the popularity, the higher the value, and the more artists who make money, the more they can get the attention of brokers.

    It really can''t be said that brokers are snobbish. It''s a truth that the employees who create higher profits are valued by the supervisor and the company.

    Her agent was quite good to her. In the early years, he helped her win the starring role of two small productions, but it was a pity that she didn''t play it. Later, I helped her get some supporting roles in large-scale production, and she didn''t become popular.

    Then the main energy of the agent gradually shifted to other popular artists, but at least she had a play every year and could get a supporting role with a little more parts.

    Tonight, the agent suddenly came to Hengdian to see him and said that he bought food for himself on the way... It''s a little abnormal.

    It was not far from Dongyang to Hengdian. Half an hour later, the agent came to Jiang Xin''s room with hot ramen.

    "Look how thin you are. Are you homesick and haven''t had a good meal these days? I bought you Malan Ramen just out of the pot. Eat it while it''s hot."

    "Am I thin?"

    Jiang Xin choked his agent with one sentence, and the smile on his face was obviously frozen.

    The agent took her for many years, knew her temperament and didn''t care.

    When she finished eating, she handed over a paper towel and asked; "Did the play go well?"

    "It went well. My play was finished on the fifth day of the first day."

    "Are you still in touch with Meng Ren?"

    A few years ago, when shooting the eight dragons, Jiang Xin played "Mu Wanqing" in the play, and also knew Liu Tao, sissy and Deng Chao.

    Sissy was not very talkative in the crew, but Jiang Xin had a good relationship with Liu Tao and Deng Chao.

    Later, Meng people filmed fairy sword and specially asked her to act as nvyuan and Jiang Waner''s mother and daughter.

    At that time, Meng was still a small bamboo raft, and Jiang Xin had not signed a brokerage company, let alone a broker.

    Later, with an agent, Meng people almost never asked Jiang Xin to shoot again, and the agent didn''t think deeply about the relationship between Jiang Xin and Meng people.

    Until this time, Mengren announced the shooting of the legend of Zhen Huan in a high profile, and the agent was determined to win several roles for his artists. As a result, I turned around and found that Jiang Xin I brought seemed to have something to do with Meng people.

    I''ll tell you!

    Jiang Xin finally understands why her agent is strange tonight.

    In the face of the agent''s inquiry, she denied it. As for the reason why Mengren asked her to shoot the fairy sword, she only said that she got the opportunity because she had a good relationship with Liu Tao and Deng Chao.

    The agent didn''t give up: "do you still have contact with Liu Tao and Deng Chao?"

    "Er... Yes, but very few."

    "That''s enough. Contact Liu Tao now and make an appointment to meet in a year."

    Trust, that''s not it.

    If you don''t know others and lack direct communication channels, first find a way, and then spread it layer by layer until it reaches Li Hui or Mai Xiaoyu.

    This routine is very common in the entertainment industry.

    Business can''t be done. Even if it doesn''t succeed this time, at least get on the cute line. It will be easier to communicate next time.

    Jiang Xin hesitated.

    The agent thought that she could not wipe off her face and open her mouth, and earnestly induced her next to her. Said this time not only for several other artists, but also for her.

    There are many important roles in the biography of Zhen Huan, and the opportunity is rare. She has cooperated with Meng people and known Liu Tao, Xi Xi, Deng Chao, Hu Jian and others. These people are the most popular stars under Meng people, and they have a heavy weight. If handled properly, she is likely to get an important role.

    The agent is still persuading, and Jiang Xin''s mobile phone rings again.

    Jiang Xin looked at the caller ID, his index finger stood up in front of his mouth, "Shh", and then connected the phone.

    The agent is very helpless. That is to know that Jiang Xin has a bit of a second character, otherwise she would have a prejudice against Jiang Xin.

    "Hello?"

    "Guess who I am?"

    "You are all bored!"

    "It seems that you have my phone."

    "No."

    "That''s to hear my voice. You still remember me over the years, so why haven''t you contacted me?"

    "If you have something to say, I''ll hang up."

    "With your bad temper, no wonder you haven''t been popular for so many years."

    "I hung up."

    "Then you will miss a great opportunity. Our company plans to make the legend of Zhen Huan. You should have heard that someone from the crew will contact you in years. You can take the time to read the novel and prepare."

    "I haven''t promised you yet."

    "Will you refuse?"

    "That depends on what role."

    "Ha ha ha ha! I finally understand why you haven''t contacted me. I took the initiative to call you. You still ignore it. Can your agent stand your two character?"

    "I really hung up."

    "Suit yourself. If you don''t want to play the role of ''Princess Hua'', I''ll find someone else."

    After that, Mai Xiaoyu hung up first.

    The agent next to heard a little, but Jiang Xin''s words and tone couldn''t help but make her think more and frown.

    "Whose phone?"

    "No one." Jiang Xin put away his cell phone. "Sister, have you seen the legend of Zhen Huan?"

    "Why do you ask?"

    "Is the play of ''Princess Hua'' heavy?"

    Of course it''s heavy!

    As a palace duel drama, "Princess Hua" is the third female and the big boss of the first half. It''s worth saying how much the play is?

    The agent suddenly remembered that when Jiang Xin called, he said, "it depends on what role.".

    Recalling the news she heard, before the production of Mengren drama, Mengren boss Mai Xiaoyu often personally selected individual role actors, and these actors may not be Mengren artists. For example, Li Youbin who plays "Li Yunlong" in "bright sword" and sun Honglei who plays "Yu Zecheng" in "latent"

    Inexplicable, a little excited!

    "Xinxin, it wasn''t Mr. Mai who called you just now?"
